A few days ago, I opened one of the stuffed drawers of the century-old bureau in our study when five photograph negatives slipped out of it. I picked them up and looked through them at the sunlight. Most of the prints had faded away. So I took them to Colorena Co. (156, Rashbehari Avenue) for restoration if at all that was possible. Chances to obtain a comprehensible image from those negatives seemed lean.

But owing to the expertise of the technicians at Colorena, the photographs turned out very well and entirely understandable, to the length that even the car registration number is comprehendible.

All the photographs have been taken at Pyari Bhaban (our home in Lake View Road, South Calcutta) in 1936 by my Great Granddad. The car featured in the photographs is a Hillman Minx 1936 - Reg. no. BLC 2474 and the motorbike is a BSA - Reg. no. BGJ 1389 as far as I know.

Super pics, thanks for sharing. The car is not a Hillman Minx, but a Vauxhall. The experts can tell us which model exactly.

Its Vauxhall of 1947/48. The date of the picture should also be around that time or later

Cherukuri Raja-Rao in his Skoda, Hyderabad 1939

PC : Cherukuri/Cherkoori family

Message from the family
Quote:
we would love to know more. he died in his car, that same year. He was a very inventive person and was very respected but we have little information about him. After he died, the old system broke apart and so did his wealth. His youngest son, Pravin Kumar Cherkoori, expatriated to Europe in the 60’s and he died a year ago in Austria, taking with him far away memories of these golden times (he was only 7 when raja Rao died).
